Today is the day after my birthday. My mother gave me the best birthday present ever. She gave me the diary of one of my ancestors who was a witch. I'm currently studying the art of Tarot, I've already studied Candle Magic, and water Magic, so I thought studying the future would balance my studies. Papa worries sometimes, because the kids around town tend to be a ltitle unfriendly when it comes to witches, but Mother is so happy that I'm following in the family footsteps. I love reading Guinivere's Diary. She wrote so much all through her life and I think it'll help me even more, to learn from her experiences as well as my own.

Today was the first meeting of the coven, including the newly initiated witches. They spaced us out and had us perform a chant with the entire Coven, even the Priest and High Priestess were chanting with us! They gave us little black bookes yesterday and want us to write in them everyday, and tell about how we feel we have progressed in the Craft. This is mine. I love it so much and I think will help me view my improvements. I started fire magic late last night. I crept out of bed, and gathered 13 red candles and made a circle of them around me. I was kneeling on the ground, and before I placed each candle down in it's place, I charged it, gathering energy from myself and putting it into the candle. I lit all the candles and this is a secret I'll share, they burned brighter than they ever did for mama, when she lit them without touching. Papa told me in the morning that it was becuase I had charged them, given them some of my energy in return for the light. A fair exchange as he put it.
